Meet Our Client
We are seeking kind and reliable Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated care team supporting a young boy living at home with his family in Skelmersdale.

He enjoys Spider-Man, spending time with other children at school and playing with his dog and cat.
At the start of your shift, he will usually already be asleep, with your role centred on monitoring his wellbeing overnight and providing reassurance and support if he wakes.
Duties include monitoring his safety, supporting repositioning or mobility when required, providing personal care, and assisting him to settle if he wakes during the night, while maintaining a safe and calm environment for both him and his family.
This role would suit a compassionate and attentive individual who is confident working night shifts and passionate about making a positive difference to a child and their family.
Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
